Phil Scott will face Sue Minter in November for governor

Vermont Business Magazine At the end of the day, none of the big-name races turned out to be close. On the Republican side, the contentious nominating race for governor finished with a significant win for Lieutenant Governor Phil Scott over businessman Bruce Lisman. On the Democratic side, former Transportatioin Secretary Sue Minter won going away from former Google executive Matt Dunne. Other than the margin of victories at the top of the tickets, perhaps the biggest surprise was state Senator David Zuckerman easilty beating Speaker of the House Shap Smith in the Democratic race for lieutenant governor. Zuckerman will face Republican Randy Brock, the former state auditor, who ran uncontested.

This was a historically rare primary, as both parties fielded contested races. The last three Republican candidates in an open race for governor were virtually uncontested in their primaries: Richard Snelling, Jim Douglas and Brian Dubie.
